Re: [Babeldoc-devel] Project Leadership

[Dejan K. <dej...@nb...>]

Hi all,
First of all I have to say that I am pretty suprised by Bruce's decission!
Especially because I haven't worked on Babeldoc a lot last few months.
I also I am not sure how much time I will have for Babeldoc in next months,
too. I have worked on Babeldoc a lot when I needed it for one project. Since
that project has been stopped I have contributed here because I like this
project. I have many other reponsibilites now that make my greater involment
in Babeldoc pretty hard.

Also, I am not native English speaker (I leave in Belgrade, Serbia and
Montenegro) which could also be a problem in situations when someone need to
talk in front of project and I am sure that there will be such situations
since this project is growing.

I really think that there should be more than one project leader since this
is open source project and no one can expect from anyone to be always
avaliable. I know that I won't be! So I really think Bruce should remain PM.
I also think we should include more people as PMs since we could hardly find
one person that could spend enough time for Babeldoc. Today is much better
situation then one year ago when there were only Bruce and me. Now we have
many contributors and I think some of them could be prometed as PM. It would
reduce risk and secure future of this project.

Dejan
P.S.
Bruce, how this imacts on Babeldoc site and domain? I know that it is
currently hosted at your home.
